Chapter 28

Anastasia wrapped her arms around Jamie's neck, and he lifted her effortlessly, allowing her to encircle his waist with her legs. He carried her to the table, never breaking away from her lips.

As he set her down, his passion took over. He deepened the kiss, devouring her mouth with a hunger that left her panting and moaning. His hand slid around her waist, fingers deftly unbuttoning her clothes.

Anastasia's breaths came in ragged gasps. Her mind screamed warnings, but her body betrayed her, surrendering to the sensual onslaught of Jamie's tongue. Their passionate dance ignited a fire within her, melting her resistance slowly.

Anastasia clutched Jamie's broad shoulders, her head spinning, vision blurring. She exhaled heavily when he abruptly broke the kiss, his lips curling into a dark, sensual smile.

Breathless, Jamie's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze intoxicating. He unbuttoned her shirt, sending chills of anticipation down her spine.
